I fully appreciate all the work you have done over the past few years. I have used TTG from the early beginnings and I'm okay paying for occasional upgrades (within reason). Problem is the frequency of upgrades. My websites are using now 3 or 4 different versions of CRG, Cart, Publisher and Galleries and it has become a bit of a mess. There are cart folders in the root, in the gallery folder, in the ttg-be folder and all have to be maintained for my clients to be able to access galleries I have created over the last few years. Let alone the amount of TTG plugins which have to stay functional within LR.
It is necessary to occasionally break with backwards compatibility and CE4 is certainly much better and more convenient once it's up and running. I've spent the whole day implementing CRG CE4 (thanks to Rod for giving advise).
My wish is that CE4 will stay with us for the longer future. Obviously incremental improvements and bug fixes are to be expected (and it's okay to pay for those).
This is in no way a rant - it's just a plea ;-)
Cheers

Hi Stephane,
Our release cycle to-date has averaged about a year-and-a-half between major version releases, such as from CE3 to CE4. And of course, the products remain valid for use much longer than that. We launched CE4 in June. At present, we are still working very hard on CE4, so it should be with us a while longer yet.
For what it's worth, I think running your galleries via Publisher makes upgrades much easier, and should help to eliminate the tendency to keep on running older version galleries. We encourage users to keep within a single product generation, rather than running pieces of CE2, CE3 and CE4 in tandem. We realize this is easier to do for some than for others, but we've been trying to evolve the products in such a way that upgrades are easier to do.
Cheers,
Matt
